Holiday Cottages in SuffolkField Mouse Cottage in Linstead Parva

If you love romance and something a little out of the ordinary, then
this is one of the holiday cottages in Suffolk that you should consider
for your holidays.

Field Mouse Cottage is a little granary conversion set beside the
owner’s pink washed 14th century Suffolk long house and encircled by 60
acres of Suffolk countryside.

It's definitely not just field mice who will appreciate the
tranquillity and peace in this part of Suffolk with walking and cycling
straight from the doorstep, with fishing and boating close by and even
the seaside not more than a very short drive away.

Facilities

Holiday cottages in Suffolk come very well equipped. At Field Mouse
Cottage linen, towels and electricity are included in the rental. The
cottage also has parking and provides garden furniture and a gas
barbecue for lazy summer dinners outside.

Inside, there's a TV/DVD, microwave and the owner's washing machine and tumble dryer are available for use free of charge.

Field Mouse Cottage is a non-smoking property and - due to the steep stairs - unsuitable for the infirm.

History on your Doorstep

Suffolk is a tranquil county and a treasure trove of history to boot.
Many treasures have been lost to the sea - a whole Roman town amongst
them - but equally much remains and is worth exploring. Here are a few
attractions that should make it onto your must-see list when you're
staying in one of the many wonderful holiday cottages in Suffolk.

Bury St. Edmunds

Only one of England's kings has ever been martyred for his faith and
that was Edmund, King of the Angles, who is entombed in Suffolk's only
cathedral. Incidentally, St Edmund was once England's patron saint,
until he was replaced by St. George in the 13th century.

Sutton Hoo

One of England's greatest Anglo-Saxon treasures can be found on the edge
of the busy little town of Woodbridge: a complete boat burial, believed
to be that of the East Anglian King Raedwald. The boat, of course, did
not survive, but the many everyday items and the famous golden helmet
make this an Anglo-Saxon treasure you simply have to go and admire.

Framlingham Castle

Following the Battle of Hastings and his coronation, William the
Conqueror richly rewarded the men who had supported his bid for the
English throne. Roger Bigod, 1st Earl of Norfolk, acquired most of East
Anglia. Framlingham Castle, still dominating the skyline of this
friendly little market town, was one of the strongholds he built to
secure the lands he was given.

Lavenham

Visiting Lavenham is like taking a trip into the past. Back to a time
when Lavenham cloth was sought after in England and Europe alike, back
to a time when wool merchants, fullers, dyers, spinners, weavers and
cloth merchants vied for space in this town, when streets and streets of
timber-framed houses were built to show off the citizens' wealth.

Days Out and Things to Do

Holiday cottages in Suffolk make a great base for exploring and Field
Mouse Cottage is in a great position to do just that. The attractive
market town of Halesworth is just 4 miles, whilst RSPB Minsmere, Dunwich
and many other delights of the Suffolk heritage coastline are about 12
miles.

A trout lake is 1 mile away and cycle hire, fishing, riding and golf
are all available nearby. Or make for Southwold, a quintessentially
English seaside town complete with colourful beach huts, a lovely
restored pier and some of the best fish and seafood you'll find
anywhere.
